In an interview with Gritty Pretty, Ellie spoke about her admiration for Angelina Jolie, noting how the actress’ honesty—especially about her sexuality—had a profound impact on her. “I looked up to a lot of people growing up, but I really admired Angelina Jolie. She seemed strong and honest,” Ellie said. “She was open about things like her sexuality, which I struggled with a lot as a kid.”
As a brand ambassador for L’Oréal Professionnel, Ellie has used her platform to speak openly about her experiences. She credited her fiancé, Ross Scutts, for always supporting her and accepting her completely, which gave her the strength to openly talk about her bisexuality.
Ellie’s career has seen major milestones, including her appearance in a Yellow Tailcommercial during the Super Bowl in 2017. In 2019, she made her film debut in Fighting with My Family, starring alongside Dwayne Johnson, Vince Vaughn, and Florence Pugh. She also modeled for Good American, Khloé Kardashian’s clothing line, that same year.
Ellie also works with several charities and is a global ambassador for the Steve Irwin Australia Zoo Wildlife Warriors, a group dedicated to saving animals. Her passion for this cause was sparked after visiting the zoo’s wildlife hospital, where she saw firsthand the work being done to help injured animals.
Through her work in fashion and beauty, Ellie encourages others to embrace who they are and challenge traditional beauty standards. She hopes her influence will empower people to feel strong and confident.
Ellie’s love for changing her hairstyle is well-known, especially after her bold pixie cut. L’Oréal supported her decision, and many women around the world followed suit, posting pictures of their own hair transformations. Ellie said it was especially meaningful when women undergoing chemotherapy found strength in her new look.
She explained that her goal is always to challenge societal expectations and push boundaries when it comes to how women are supposed to look or behave. “I want to inspire others to live boldly and never be afraid to stand out,” she said.
With millions of followers on social media, including over 1.2 million on Instagram and 3 million on Facebook, Ellie is no stranger to the spotlight. So it was no surprise when her wedding made headlines across Australia, even being featured in Vogue Australia.
Ellie and Ross initially considered eloping abroad, but after discovering La Luna, a floating beach club on the Gold Coast, they changed their minds. The stunning Mediterranean views and intimate vibe made it the perfect setting for a personal ceremony. With only close friends and family in attendance, the day was deeply meaningful for them both, especially since they had both lost their fathers.
One of the most heartwarming details? Their dog, Daisy, served as the ring bearer. Ellie described the day: “I felt like I was walking on water. We got married the same way we started — just him and me. It was the most special way we could celebrate our love.”
